cdob Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) I did all what you wroteI doubt this.The file C:\INST\XP_RAM\bootsect.bin is missing.Remember case is importand: bootsect.bin is not BOOTSECT.BIN.And read the warning: XP_RAM\I386\txtsetp.sif not found.No sort file created. Read ISO image won't be sorted.Why do you use a sorted image at all?Can't you use the whole image? Edited March 24, 2010 by cdob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) I did all what you wroteAnd that begins to workBut the software gives an error and DD stoppedThe first error - long before the dd one - is related to missing files:1) Does C:\INST\XP_RAM\I386\txtsetup.sif exist? 2) Try copying bootsect.bin to C:\INST\ also.jaclazP.S. Sorry cdob, cross-posting, though the bootsect.bin appears like a problem with the path of it in mkisosf options, it seems to me like it is needed in two places:pushd "%SourceDir%"if not exist %boot_sector_file% ( echo.&echo error: boot sector file not found &call :Help &pause &goto :eof)this checks for it in C:\INST\XP_RAM\ while mkisofs seems like looking for it in C:\INST\ Edited March 24, 2010 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdob Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 It does work fine to load the whole image, I just was looking for setting this up on older/slower machines.Can you clarify some parts:Which windows files did you used? Do you use a OEM version?Did you slipstream a SP? How do you slipstreams?Did you changed windows files in addition?

cdob Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Let's investigate: How much RAM do you use?Create a file list from ISO image: isoinfo.exe -l -i XP_RAM.ISO > iso_list.txtIsoinfo is part of cdrtools package, as mkisofs.Can you upload ramboot.lst, sort.txt and iso_list.txt ?

ilko_t Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 What happens if you do NOT launch PLoP at all and use (hd1)?What hardware are you playing with, motherboard model if desktop or exact model if laptop?@cdob This reminds me the same issues as in here:http://www.msfn.org/board/install-2000xp2003-loaded-small-t139737-page-20.htmlTime for similar workarounds, adjusted txtsetup.sif and/or use of mnt.exe?
